Symptoms of pseudoprecocious puberty?

Simple breast development: female breast enlargement, mostly unilateral, progressive, later can also be static or subside, other sexual characteristics appear according to the normal law. It may be caused by the temporary secretion of a small amount of estrogen by the ovary. It should be differentiated from precocious puberty and increased chest fat caused by obesity.

Simple pubic hair early appear: the reason is that the adrenal gland androgen secretion is too much or the hair follicle is sensitive to androgen, does not affect health, more common in girls. It should be differentiated from congenital adrenal hyperplasia and adrenal tumor.

Male and female breast: the breast of the newborn may be enlarged due to the influence of hormones from the mother, and disappear after a few weeks. Two thirds of adolescent boys had breast enlargement, which was caused by the increase of testosterone and the slight increase of estradiol. Some male and female breasts are familial and have nothing to do with endocrine.
